Content: Imagine you are a supervisor overseeing a small department of five employees. A new policy concerning the use of personal time in the workplace has been established. It is your job to inform your employees of the new policy, implement it, and ascertain its compliance within your department. Send an email message to all five employees containing the following information: Tell employees they may not use company’s resources for personal use such as checking social media such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter or surf the internet for non-work-related things while on the clock. Employees may not make personal telephone calls, emails, or text messages while on the clock. Employees may not use company’s things for personal gains such as printing, copying or taking of office supplies. Explain what employees have to do in cases of emergency where they have to make a personal phone call, message or other kinds of contact. Explain to employees that the policy has a three-strikes-and-you-are-out rule. Explain what each strike entails at your own discretion. Convey confidence in your employees professional cooperativeness and ability to follow rules. Make sure your employees understand that should they have any questions or concerns, they may always speak with you about them. End the email message on a positive, encouraging note.
